Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fabric weaving technology, and in particular to a method for weaving electric embroidery thread. Background Technology

[0002] Embroidery thread, generally referring to polyester filament embroidery thread, is commonly found in 108D and 120D. Fabric patterns created with small-diameter embroidery threads generally lack three-dimensionality, and most embroidery threads on the market are fixed using ordinary yarn weaving. This fixing method reduces the structural patterns of the embroidery thread on the fabric, limiting the display of the embroidery thread structure.

[0003] When embroidery thread is woven on common weaving equipment, the thread is typically threaded after the needle is inserted. First, the top thread is placed in the thread guide hole on the upper beam of the thread frame and pulled through the first tension adjuster, second tension adjuster, and rotary tension adjuster. Then, the top thread is threaded through the balance thread guide hole, machine head thread guide hole, locking thread guide hole, and needle eye. For the bobbin thread, the bobbin thread is placed on the thread spool on the lower beam of the thread frame, the end is pulled out, and threaded through the upper beam of the thread frame, hooked, and pulled back. Then, the machine head above the weaving table is used to continuously change its position for weaving. The above weaving method offers limited efficiency and effect, resulting in generally poor performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures pointed out in the description.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a method for weaving electric embroidery thread.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: a method for weaving electric embroidery thread, comprising the following steps:

[0007] The steps for fixing the woven fabric are as follows: fix the woven base fabric, set a support clamp at the bottom of the woven fabric, insert the bottom thread and top thread, and determine the starting point of the electric embroidery thread;

[0008] The weaving steps involve laying out 1500D-1800D electric embroidery thread along the weaving pattern;

[0009] The connection step involves stitching the embroidery thread up and down using an embroidery technique while laying it out, and then wrapping and weaving a heat-fusible material around the surface of the embroidery thread.

[0010] The hot-pressing and fusion step involves using a hot-pressing and hot-melting device to heat-melt the heat-fusible material and adhere the embroidery thread to the woven base fabric.

[0011] The edge trimming step involves removing excess trimmings using a cutting tool assembly on the mold.

[0012] This invention uses 1500D-1800D embroidery thread to weave fabric, resulting in a strong three-dimensional pattern structure. A heat-fusible material of a different color is wound and woven onto the surface of the embroidery thread. After heat pressing, different colored patterns are formed on the surface of the embroidery thread, while the heat-fusible material directly adheres the embroidery thread to the fabric surface. The resulting fabric has rich patterns, a strong three-dimensional effect, a simple weaving method, and excellent weaving results.

[0013] In some embodiments, a thermoforming step is provided after the hot-pressing and fusion step, which is performed after the fabric has cooled to room temperature after hot-melting.

[0014] In some implementations, during the connection step, when the needles are inserted into the upper and lower parts of the fabric, the knitting device changes the needle position by displacing the frame that holds the knitting surface in place.

[0015] In some implementations, the surface of the embroidery thread is wound with a heat-fusible material at equal intervals.

[0016] In some implementations, the embroidery thread is a different color from the heat-fusible material.

[0017] In some implementations, the woven pattern is composed of several electric embroidery threads, which are interwoven.

[0018] In some implementations, the frame changes position through the cooperation of an X-axis displacement component and a Y-axis displacement component, with the frame mounted on the X-axis displacement component and the X-axis displacement component mounted on the Y-axis displacement component.

[0019] In some embodiments, the X-axis displacement assembly includes a linear module, a servo motor, a displacement block and a belt on the linear module, the linear module drives the belt to move through a wheel, the displacement block is installed on the belt, and a frame is installed on the displacement block.

[0020] In some implementations, the Y-axis displacement component has the same structure as the X-axis displacement component.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. This invention uses 1500D-1800D embroidered thread to weave fabric, which has a strong three-dimensional pattern structure.

[0023] 2. This invention involves wrapping a heat-fusible material of a different color to the embroidery thread around its surface. After heat pressing, different colored patterns are formed on the surface of the embroidery thread, while the heat-fusible material also directly adheres the embroidery thread to the fabric surface. The resulting fabric has rich patterns, a strong three-dimensional effect, a simple weaving method, and excellent weaving results.

[0024] 3. The weaving method of the present invention uses the frame displacement on the weaving surface to change the position of the electric embroidery needle, which is more flexible; it is efficient in weaving heat-fusible materials onto the surface of the electric embroidery thread, and to a certain extent ensures that the heat-fusible materials can be quickly threaded and wrapped.

[0025] 4. This invention achieves rapid weaving and fixing of embroidery thread through simple weaving steps, while ensuring the expressiveness of the embroidery thread on the fabric and increasing the variety of fabric styles.

[0033] The weaving steps involve laying out 1500D-1800D electric embroidery thread along the weaving pattern;

[0034] The connection step involves stitching the electric embroidery thread up and down while laying it out, and then wrapping and weaving a heat-fusible material around the surface of the electric embroidery thread. TPU thread is often used as the heat-fusible material in fabrics.

[0036] The edge trimming step involves removing excess trimmings using a cutting tool assembly on the mold.

[0037] This invention uses 1500D-1800D embroidery thread to weave fabric, resulting in a strong three-dimensional pattern structure.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, in the connecting step, when the needles are inserted into the upper and lower parts, the knitting device changes the needle position by displacing the frame that fixes the knitting surface.

[0041] The flexibility of changing the needle position by moving the frame that controls the fixed knitting surface is greater. Compared to changing the position of the knitting head while keeping the knitting position still, the frame displacement method is more convenient. Alternatively, combining frame displacement with changes in the position of the knitting head can further improve efficiency.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, a heat-fusible material is wound and woven around the surface of the embroidery thread at equal intervals.

[0045] Improve the color coordination of the finished fabric after weaving, increase the tension of the embroidery pattern on the fabric, and increase the variety of fabric styles.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the woven pattern is composed of a plurality of electric embroidery threads, which are interspersed.

[0047] The embroidery threads are interwoven to form corresponding pattern structures.
